What is SNEC Lift ?

The SNEC Lift (Scarless Non-Excisional Cervical Lift) is a minimally invasive procedure that combines several complementary techniques to treat the different components of cervical aging.

Unlike surgical neck lifts, the SNEC Lift does not rely on skin excision. It acts in a targeted way on:

  • submental fatty deposits,

  • skin laxity,

  • the loss of definition of the cervico-mental angle.

Who is it for? SNEC Lift ?

The SNEC Lift is for women and men with:

  • mild to moderate cervical laxity

  • localized excess fat under the chin,

  • a loss of jawline definition,

  • an insufficient or premature indication for a classic surgical facelift.

A consultation is essential to assess skin quality, laxity and the suitability of this technique.

SNEC Lift Results

The results of the SNEC Lift appear gradually over the weeks. The neck becomes firmer, the cervico-mental angle is better defined, and the oval of the face regains a better structure.

The goal is a result natural, without a fixed appearance, respecting the anatomy and expression of the face.

Suites and recovery

Since the SNEC Lift is a minimally invasive procedure, the recovery is generally straightforward. Some swelling and bruising may occur but will gradually disappear.

The return to daily activities is rapid, with limited social downtime compared to a surgical facelift.

SNEC Lift and surgical facelift: what are the differences?

The SNEC Lift does not replace a surgical facelift in cases of significant sagging. However, it constitutes a relevant alternative for patients seeking:

  • a technique that leaves no visible scars

  • faster recovery

  • a targeted and progressive treatment.
